Launched in April 2023, the Icons collection consists of elevated, everyday essentials. Donatella conceived of the collection to give confidence, courage, and freedom to express oneself through unapologetically feminine pieces, inspired by decades of collaborations with powerful women.

Heading from a bustling Fifth Avenue onto the Rockefeller Building rooftop, guests stepped into a romantic garden oasis. The terrace was transformed for the evening, with seating areas covered with plush Versace cushions, flickering candles aplenty, and a soft-lit Medusa head sitting high in the pond—we had officially entered the house of Versace.

Aside from the women of the hour, there were a number of other icons in attendance–supermodels and ’90s Versace muses Cindy Crawford and Helena Christensen, Marisa Tomei, Rachel Brosnahan, Teyana Taylor, Geri Halliwell, Gucci Westman, and Aaron Rose Philip, to name a few.
